Full Starving Moon
WolfI was wrong. The spring
is elusive, the hunger real, bone
real as we sweep snow from the steps,
exist on steam and crystalized honey,
the sweet taste of nothing. What bone
rattlers we are, knocking around field
and home, splitting wood, sending
it crackling into the heat. We cannot
stomach more jerky, the sharp hairs
that decorate the root cellar. Have you
been in, trespassed? We are friends only
in spirit, I offer you nothing of store. Wolfdont
mistake meif the hunger sharpens to a knife,
it will land across your throat. With my apologies.
